And there y'go - there's no solution which suits everyone!

I think the comments here fall into the category of advice rather than criticism; everybody has to start somewhere. The key thing is knowing consumer law. As a buyer I'd typically go for the refund, so as to avoid a saga of follow-on remedial action(s). But offering the fix is a good starting position.

Oh yes - that's allowed! 🙂

If they're operating a business then consumer law overrides any policy restrictions.

You could get a really long strap so the bass hangs down near the pedals; then you'd be OK with the glasses! 🙂

Some other options: Use bigger writing. Get a tablet on a stand and pretend it's controlling an instrument. Investigate autocue.

Regarding specs, maybe ones with a heads-up display could be an option - they might even become a "look"!

I tried some varifocals spectacles and they were awful: the edges of my 32" 4k monitor became curved and I couldn't read things by moving my eyes but instead had to keep them still and move my head to read; I also couldn't use my peripheral vision. I really couldn't recommend them less.. As for contact lenses: I was recommended not to have them for astigmatism, as every time you blink you slightly shift them. I think that varifocal contacts would exacerbate that issue and you'd be looking at the world through a wobbly fish-eyed vision.

Someone buying a used bitsa for £200 can't expect too much, but OTOH they could get a used Squier for similar. If the seller enthuses that they've put a lot into the build, set it up, and so-on, then perhaps the buyer could take them at their word. It's possible that the buyer got GAS and then someone else looked at it and went "hang-on, it's got issues". Given that you mention "customer satisfaction", it is possible that the buyer took you to be a business and is therefore viewing it as a fault with a retail purchase. They might've become disillusioned with the whole thing. I'd be wary of buying Chinese parts and tarting them up, as their quality can be questionable - I've had a couple of howlers. Mostly "yebbuts" from my side, but I do hope it gets sorted satisfactorily for both sides!

It's a no from me.

I didn't even know there was one in London.

How's things in the USA?

I went to Canterbury a few years back and had a look in the Hobgoblin shop. If I were to go there again I'd give the shop a miss.

Aye - it's a means of saying there is push energy and pull energy going to a speaker; whilst it naturally goes back to its zero position, we want to measure the energy expended on its travels.

This video explains it pretty well: Note that the above gives two examples of a square wave: the initial pictured one is going from 0 to +Vmax, but to match the sine & sawtooths it should go from -Vmax to +Vmax.

That sounds squiffy!

Yep - I'd like one of those, to go alongside my Flyte.
